Two blue lines. That means not pregnant, right? Right?
Oh, sh*t.
Five years ago, Colm
Frost asked me to marry him and I ran. I ran from my painful past too raw and
fresh to escape. He was the only one who looked at me like I wasn’t broken and
made me believe it. He made me feel it.
Now, he’s the hot,
angry, hockey player on the mend.
I’m the
physiotherapist who’s supposed to get him back on his feet.
I don’t think our
night together was what his doctor prescribed, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t
dreamt of him every time I close my eyes. I woke up beside him with my body
still singing from the way he fanned the flames of my desire, but I couldn’t
stay.
His lips on my neck. His hands wrapped around my waist. His impressive...ahem,
touch leaving me breathless.
One moment of wild
inhibition and it’s come back to bite me in the butt. Kind of like he did that
night.
But a baby? Our
night was supposed to be a one time thing, closing a door on the future I
couldn’t handle.
Will this new bump
in the road be everything we needed to find our forever?
Heartless King is a standalone friends to enemies to lovers, accidental
pregnancy romance that brings all the laugh out loud, angsty feels!

Excerpt
The question had been running through my head all night: how
could I get her to leave? But I didn’t want her to go. And now the maple syrup
and cinnamon taste of her sent me hurtling close to the edge of my control.
Those reserves were running on fumes.
Everyone else had been run off by my anger or blinded by my
money, but not her. If anything, she battled me, pushing me like she knew I
needed it. She wouldn’t let me hide the splintered and cracked pieces of myself
that I was barely holding together.
She didn’t push me to talk, just slid in past my defenses
and got me to say more than I should.
“Do you want me to stop?” I ran my fingers through her hair,
tugging on the roots.
Her lips parted in a gasp and I deepened the kiss, needing
to taste even more of her. She’d teased me, eating that French toast that
smelled like a vanilla and cinnamon factory had exploded when it arrived at our
table.
She stared into my eyes, heavy breaths shuddering past her
lips. “Hell no.”

Author Bio
Maya
Hughes, that's me!, can often be found sneaking in another chapter while hiding
in the bathroom from her kids! :-) I'm a romance writer who loves taking
inspiration from everyday life, namely my husband and biggest fan. Inspiration
also strikes when I hear a song, meet someone new or daydream while at soccer
practice.
I love
writing stories that capture the possibilities of the paths less travelled and
enjoy experiencing life through my characters’ eyes.
I'm the mom
of three little ones, the wife to an amazing husband and also work full time.
Some of my favorite things are cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, white wine, laughing
until I can't breathe, traveling with my family and Jeff Goldblum.
